Lot 442
1802 S-228 R2 Error Fraction 1/000. VF-35. Sharpness EF40 with a thin diagonal nick high on the neck and some very light contact marks in the field before the neck. These marks are trivial and are easily lost in the minor roughness created by the die scaling. Glossy steel and chocolate brown with traces of reddish chocolate toning in a few protected areas of the reverse. M-LDS, Breen state IV. An arcing die crack extends from the dentils over the first T in STATES to the rim over the O in OF and the obverse fields are covered with minor roughness from die flaking. The error fraction (1/000) is strong. Called EF40 and tied for CC#13 by Bland. Noyes says EF40 net VF35 and tied for CC#14, photo #28497. DWH #3081.
Estimated Value $2,000-UP.
